ND and BYU should be forced to play each other in a post season "bowl" every year.

Honestly, I agree ND should join a conference, but I also think conference tie-ins are stupid anymore. If we get to the point where the committee is feeling forced to keep a UVA team ranked because they know they're going to a NY6 Bowl, it's pathetic. The CFP get's the first 4, and then a rotating pecking order should start with the 2nd tier bowls, then 3rd tier, and so on, regardless of conference. I couldn't care less about facing the Pac12 in the Rose Bowl anymore.Yeah. ND did this to themselves. Bowls have conference tie-ins. Unless they make a NY6 bowl or the playoff, they get hosed without a conference. Join a conference and get better bowls.
I don't blame BYU for being an independent. I think they've tried on several occasions to join a conference and have been rejected.
This. Sucks for the players, but they set themselves up for this kind of thingIt's almost as if ND should consider joining a conference...
Vegas ranks ND 15 and ISU 23. So the line wont be much. If anything id expect it to drop once the sharp money comes inThe latest line I see for the game has ND at -3.5 vs IState. The line isn't dissing the pairing like Barstool Sports. There are many other bowl pairings with larger spreads.
Join the ACC and play a weaker schedule?Join the ACC or GTFO.
